The tables are set with the finest crockery and decorated with stunning floral centre pieces. Each place setting is identified with your guest's name card and a wedding favour.

Dinner is served and it's time out from the photography, although photographs of the Wedding Breakfast may be taken for the album.

After dinner I'll be back to photograph the speeches and toasts. The Groom telling everyone how beautiful and special you are, not that your guests didn't know already. You may be giving a speech too, letting everyone know what a great man your husband is. The Best Man then tells tales about the Groom and perhaps raises a few laughs with his corny jokes. For the photographer, it's all about action and reaction.

Next it's time to cut the Wedding Cake; first a couple of posed shots and then the real thing.

Please do get in touch to discuss options for Wedding Reception photography whether it may be in Manchester, Lancashire, Cheshire or elsewhere.
